About him

I am passionate about getting a bargain, particularly at antiques auctions, antiques satisfy my interest in history, I appreciate having things around me and using in everyday life, things which have passed through dozens of hands over the centuries; I get a thrill from using something that may have been first used by someone two to three hundred years ago. My obsession with bargains means that as a member of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre I can buy the cheapest ticket and then get an upgrade to a more expensive one on the day. I love walking the dog in our local country park and walking with friends, relatively long distance, although I must confess to having had to cry off these walks for the past year with pressure of work but as I will be re-joining them very soon (!) do feel justified in adding this here. My family is very important to me. My work is very important to me. I like the look of a nice garden although must confess to disliking gardening so much so that I have just laid an artificial lawn in the rear garden, so that any effort that I am prepared to put into gardening can be concentrated upon keeping the plants alive.

About his ideal match

I hope that friends would describe me as loyal, certainly I will do anything for a true friend, even give them my last Rolo and I hope to find someone with at least two Rolos to share.

I try to help others less fortunate than I am, if only because there but for the grace of God and would like to meet someone with compassion.

I can be a bit fussy to whom I talk, often interpreted as being a bit aloof, but when I do I have a tendency to talk too much. I would like to find someone with whom I can have a good conversation but someone who equally understands that silence can also "speak volumes".
